Robots and robotics are playing an increasingly important role in our society. Experiments are being conducted with technological imitation on both a physical and psychological level. What if this gets out of hand and takes on a life of its own? This project investigates the turning point in movement and visual language, through which the human brain 'changes' and something is experienced as realistic.
